Isuzu N-Series. Manual - part 1198

SRS CONTROL SYSTEM 9C-39

DTC: 25  SRS Airbag Deployment Circuit is Shorted to Ignition Voltage

Outline

Description of Circuit
Turn the starter switch to “ON”. SRS control unit per-
forms the tests to diagnose critical function fault in the
SRS control unit. Upon completion of the tests, when the
results are pass, “Ignition” voltage and deployment cir-
cuit voltage will be measured to check they are within
the normal range. SRS control unit detects battery volt-
age short circuit in the SRS airbag circuit by monitoring
the voltage of “Airbag low” terminal “8”.

Condition when DTC is Set
When “Ignition” is within the normal operational voltage
but the voltage of “Airbag low” exceeds the specified val-
ue, the DTC 25 is set.

Action to be Taken
SRS control unit turns the “SRS” warning lamp ON and
set the DTC 25.

Condition when DTC is Cleared
When this function fault disappears after SRS control
unit replacement.

9C-40 SRS CONTROL SYSTEM

Description of DTC Chart Test
Numbers below indicate step numbers in the diagnostic
chart.
2. This test is to check if the location of function fault is
in the SRS airbag deployment circuit.
3. This test is to check if the location of function fault is
in the SRS airbag deployment circuit.
4. This test is to check if the location of function fault is
in the SRS coil.
5. This test is to check if the location of function fault is
in the SRS coil assembly or SRS airbag.

Point of Diagnosis
In the situations that the trouble appears intermittently, it
may be caused by battery voltage short circuit in the
SRS airbag circuit.
Carefully check the SRS airbag deployment circuit for
wire breakage or exposed wire. If the lead wire and SRS
coil assembly of SRS airbag are damaged, the part must
be replaced. To prevent the replaced SRS control unit
from damage, carefully check the SRS airbag deploy-
ment circuit including SRS coil assembly and SRS
airbag.

Caution:

When this DTC is set, all the SRS system parts (SRS
control unit, airbag, etc.) must be replaced. In addition,
This DTC cannot be cleared. Be sure to disconnect the
battery cable before replacement, otherwise it will result
malfunction of replaced SRS system parts or cause bat-
tery short circuit.

9C-42 SRS CONTROL SYSTEM

DTC: 26  SRS Airbag Deployment Circuit is Open

Outline

Description of Circuit
Turn the starter switch to “ON”. SRS control unit per-
forms the tests to diagnose critical function fault in the
SRS control unit. Upon completion of the tests, when the
results are pass, “Ignition” voltage and deployment cir-
cuit voltage will be measured to check they are within
the normal range. SRS control unit detects open circuit
in the SRS airbag circuit by monitoring the voltage of
“Airbag low” terminal.

Condition when DTC is Set
When the voltage of “Airbag low” terminal is within a cer-
tain range.

Action to be Taken
SRS control unit turns the “SRS” warning lamp ON and
set the DTC 26.

Condition when DTC is Cleared
When the voltage of “Airbag low” terminal is out of a cer-
tain range.

Description of DTC Chart Test
Numbers below indicate step numbers in the diagnostic
chart.
2. This test is to check if the 2-pole connector (yellow)
located in the lower portion of steering column is proper-
ly connected.
3. This test is to check the 2-pole connector (yellow) lo-
cated in the lower portion of steering column for secure
contact and/or corrosion.
4. This test is to check if the location of function fault is
up to the 2-pole connector (yellow) located in the lower
portion of steering column.
5. This test is to check if the wire is open.
6. This test is to check if the location of function fault is
in the SRS coil assembly or SRS airbag.

Point of Diagnosis
In the situations that the trouble display appears inter-
mittently, it may be caused by improper connection be-
tween 2-pole connector terminals “1” and “2” of SRS
airbag harness located in the upper portion of steering
column, between 2-pole connector terminals “1” and “2”
of SRS coil assembly harness, between SRS control
unit terminals “7” and “8”, or open circuit in the SRS
airbag deployment circuit.
